Im paraphrasing so i hope the author doesn't mind...
Relationships used to be about love, cherish, understanding, passion. Now we keep the one for the bills and someone else for the emotional side of things. Even then it doesn’t work out. Eventually, thanks to our current administration, we are forced to choose the pay-out way of life instead of being with the one who truly has our heart.
We are forced to settle.
We are told not to take chances. No matter what the cost. The point is eventually we all take chances, we all learn something from them. Some good lessons /some bad. Its those of use that learn the bad lessons that either recover or don't we either survive or we don't.
And sometimes we settle based on force of habit.
Sometimes those bad lessons are just that, bad lessons, nothing major was wagered and nothing major was lost.
However some of us learn our lessons through some pretty detrimental means, and sometimes that means that so much has been vested in a situation, that there is a very slight chance of a full or even partial recovery.
The main problem with that is, its that recovery which is critical to our survival, is attached to every piece of our heart, and yet again as most of us know, from experience, the heart doesnt always want to let go.
Even when it is battered and bruised.

This is so true. The painful almost regretful truths are when what you want is ripped away from you and what you need you can't stand. Then you think, did I really want what I didn't have? In a post I wrote a long time ago... She was never mine. Until the universe allows to to not have to settle and to find what is so true to our hearts, I will lay in wait.
